Brief Explanation

Rising from deep waters, a fish stops swimming right in front of our camera. As we focus on its face we are surprised. This is a really ugly fish. But as the end line of our film concludes a second later, “nothing’s as ugly as overfishing”. A humorous message to raise awareness of the fact that due to overfishing the world’s fish population halved since 1970.
